I am no longer surprised that great evil finds its formation in places where people come to worship God yet are seduced into the pleasure of playing God. I am no longer surprised to recognize great evil in places of power, in business...

Sad & Disappointed, Encouraged & Hopeful, Revolutionary! Praise the Lord! ~ Clara, The Clallery
